Everything a child does is a learning experience. We will introduce them to as many different materials and hands-on learning opportunities as possible in order to support their individualized learning and developmental goals. We will PAINT, SING, DANCE , ROLL AROUND, WRITE, LISTEN TO STORIES, PLAY WITH PLAY DOUGH, BUILD WITH BLOCKS, CREATE MANY BEAUTIFUL WORKS OF ART, and MUCH, MUCH MORE. While we are doing all of this, we will be working on the social skills of cooperating in a group, listening, following directions, and solving problems.
GOALS
1. To instill a LOVE OF LEARNING AND SELF CONFIDENCE that students can carry throughout their lives.
2. To provide developmentally appropriate skill building activities that foster and support their individualized
goals.
3. To give children a sense of self-confidence by allowing them to succeed at their own level.
4. To encourage creativity and confidence through art, music, literacy, and large/ small motor-skill activities.
5. To build social skills including sharing, problem solving, making choices, cooperation, being considerate, taking turns, listening, sitting attentively, and learning appropriate behavior for certain situations.
Daily Folders
Your child will be bringing home a daily folder with school and/or class information for you. This information is important and may not be on the school website. This is also where daily information about your child will be placed. Please look it over, sign if necessary and return the folder with any of the requested items as needed.
